Atomicboy Software has released
three new screenshots from the game, showing for the first time the use of
nuclear weapons, the in-game internet chat interface as well as an overview of
some of the units and technology players can research and use throughout the
game.

Battlefront is also officially
looking for beta tester volunteers to help with the final stage of development!
If you’re interested to join, please contact
brit@empiresofsteel.com. You
need to fulfill the following requirements in order to be eligible for a beta
tester spot:

Previous experience with beta
testing. You need to have been on at least one beta test team before.

Knowledge of turn-based strategy
games. You need to be an avid strategy gamer and enjoy this type of game.

Access to hardware. Ideally you’ll
have at least two PCs at your disposal with different configurations,
operating systems and hardware etc.

Time. You need to be available
from now on through the end of Quarter 1, 2009 without major breaks, and
willing and able to dedicate a couple of hours daily to testing.

Online play. You need to be able
and willing to participate in multiplayer sessions. EoS is heavily multiplayer
with built-in matchmaking, chat and play functions that need to be tested
extensively, so you’ll be spending a lot of time online playing against fellow
beta testers

Please understand that while we
review ALL applications, only a very selected few will be able to join the team.
If you’re not selected into the first group, you’ll have a chance to be eligible
for the second, bigger group, launching in January.
